> What is "lack of time"? A careless reader would assume you meant they are busy working [1]. No. The parents are on their phones. From birth all these kids see is mum's face lit from below with a blue light. Sure, that may exist. But your generalisation is so sweeping as to be in effect just a slur against the poor. > I know what you meant (sex, violence, alcohol...), but the stark reality is that the "adult world" is staring into a 6 inch screen for 12 hours. Adults don't have time for anything else nowadays. These pacifiers work for all ages. Ah, OK, so it's a slur against everybody? I suppose that's better... Somehow. Or are you still talking mainly about the less-well-off? Then my point above remains.
